Sharing Rubrics

Rubrics do not have the option to directly send or copy to another course or professor. Instead, you will need to create a blank assignment and use that to "share" the rubric somewhere else.

1. Create a blank assignment

   • Create this assignment in your current course or a sandbox. This is just a place holder!

   • Leave everything blank, no points, no submission (See screenshot below!)

2. Add the rubric to the assignment

   • If you already have the rubric built, just click "Add Rubric" below the assignment area and select Find Rubric to select it.

   • If you're adding the rubric, click "Add Rubric" below the assignment, then type or paste all rubric information. (Remember to put high marks toward the left!)

   • Save the assignment but leave it UNpublished!

3. Share the blank assignment

   • Click the 3 dots by the assignment (in module or when viewing the assignment) and share it!

     • "Send to..." allows you to send this assignment to another person

     • "Copy to..." allows you to directly add this assignment to another course. If the course you're wanting to send it to is a course you don't have access to, your department chair and/or dean will be able to access the course for you. (Or just use the Send To feature instead to send it to another instructor)

If you copied the assignment/rubric to another course, it will immediately be available.

If you sent the assignment/rubric to somewith with "Send to..", they will see a notification by their picture in Canvas. They must click "Account" and "Shared Content". From there they can decide where they'd like to send the assignment/rubric.
